J-10 Thread IV

[siegecrossbow]

Should and could are less commonly the same than one would reasonably expect, especially when it comes to the RoC and their corruption riddled ways.

It's very bizarre though, given how OCD they are about labelling the different types of flankers.

I think it is fascinating that the ROC does not distinguish between different types of J-10 to this day in their ADIZ reports despite the fact that different blocks have vastly different capabilities and should be easily distinguishable via radar signature.

Because J-10 is domestic while J-16 is in their lingo “苏凯战机”. Admitting J-10C is superior to say... F-CK-1 is a harder pill for them to swallow.

ETC J-10C (WS-10) participating in the Joint Sword Exercise in Taiwan Strait on April 8th. It is interesting to note that standard practice is to carry one PL-15 and one PL-12 with two PL-10s on the outer pylons. This contrasts with the J-16, which carries full PL-15 load. I wonder if there is tactical consideration involved in this.

Day Two:




Here is a nice photo of J-10C flying within visual range of Taiwan's west coast.

They are saying that it is not J-10 VISTA or J-10 reconnaissance.

That leaves only AI simulator I guess.

P.S. LMAO at the smack talking against Deino.

What're the differences between VISTA and AI simulator?

What're the differences between VISTA and AI simulator?

VSITA is a trade mark, a given name to a specific system. AI simulator is a general term.

Example : VSITA = Honda Civic.
AI Simulator = an internal combustion engined car.

Strange outfit. Maybe PL-15 stocks are still not as large as desired?
That's the most obvious explanation, otherwise there is literally 0 point in carrying -12 over 15. They're ~same weight and size, -15 is simply newer and better.
